You guys have probably heard of this:
Not on the menu: Pizza workers charged in pranks
Thu Apr 16, 6:17 am ET
CONOVER, N.C. – A gross video posted on YouTube showing a Domino's Pizza worker stuffing cheese up his nostril and waving salami under his rear end as he is making sandwiches has led to charges against him and a co-worker who recorded him, authorities said Wednesday.
Kristy Lynn Hammonds, 31, of Taylorsville and Michael Anthony Setzer, 32, of Conover are each charged with distributing prohibited foods. Police chief Gary Lafone says it is the same North Carolina statute that forbids any tampering with Halloween candy.
In the video, Setzer is making sandwiches while a giggling Hammonds narrates and urges him to "do it again, do it again" in putting the cheese up his nose. It appears he threw some of the cheese in the garbage but some went on a sandwich.
Setzer says: "This is Michael's special Italian sandwich."
Hammonds says the sandwiches were meant to be delivered soon to customers and that "little did they know that the cheese was in his nose."
Domino's spokesman Tim McIntyre said the workers were fired and there is no evidence any of the tampered foods were served to customers. He said the company also may pursue a lawsuit.
Company CEO Patrick Doyle posted another video in response, saying the store had been sanitized "top to bottom."
"We're re-examining all of our hiring practices to make sure that people like this don't make it into our stores," he said.
Setzer was released from the Catawba County jail on $7,500 bond, while Hammonds remained in custody late Wednesday night. A deputy at the jail couldn't say if the two had retained attorneys, but they were scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
A man identifying himself on the phone as Setzer's father said the family is not commenting.
Nasty, huh?

Sounds like something that Heffer Wolfe from RML would do.

Dominos has been gross from the getgo..Their pizza is made with the lowest quality ingrediants, and there sanitation rules are very pathetic, I wouldnt be surprised if this might teach dominos to do something about it.

I never did find out what happened to the gals that thought it would be intelligent to bathe in the KFC sinks.
I just...don't know what these people are thinking.

GROSS! Now that is so freakin nasty, putting cheese in your nostrals and waving a salami under your rear end. And I thought Dominoes was one of the best pizza joint in America.
Maybe when I go out for pizza I might check the cheese.
.... And this is why I support the regionally local chain called Valentino's.

ELIZABETH'S PIZZA IS THE BEST!!
Greensboro, NC
Fayetteville, NC
Wilmington, NC
At least those are the locations I know of. There might be one in southern VA but I'm not sure. They have the best pizza in the south.
I hardly ever go to chain pizza restaurants. My family likes Pizza Hut but it isn't the greatest. I've eaten at Domino's a few times and it is ok, but I don't know if I'll be able to go back without thinking about this. I feel bad for the company because I think a lot of people will think about this the next time they go to Domino's.

Yeah, that was disturbing. Its times like this that makes me glad that I don't eat pizza that often in the first place.
You can't single out Domino's or Pizza. This can happen in every fast food or restaurant, all you need is someone like those two in the videos.
Its probably already happened to you as well but it probably still tasted delicious.
Its gross and a problem but theres not much you can do about it not to mention its not Domino's fault. I mean they get fired and start working in Red Lobster.

That's the perils of having your food made by minimum wage employees. If you're a regular Dominoes eater who decides instead to patronize Little Caesars or KFC or whoever as a result of this story, than you are a delusional fool. In fact, the Dominoes Pizzas in this town, as of today, are probably the safest places you can eat!
That is so freakin disgusting.

I would assume it does happen unless you're actually watching them. A kid making 6 bucks an hour and he's pissed all day....yeah, that pretty much is a powder keg.

Dominoes removed the video from youtube, but I was able to find it again.
Here is the link to watch the disgusting pizza video:

Dominoes has made a full apology for the video and has posted a vid of there own:

At first it sounds gross, but the way they play with the customers orders like that is just outright disgusting, I plan on never eating there again.
I heard about this yesterday and yeah I don't think anyone can argue this little fiasco wasn't disgusting. I have always been weary of fast-food restaurant employees getting a little too bored and/or ticked off and then doing something like this.
I don't think that snot is part of Dominoes' menu so I don't see any reason to single out the chain, it's probably safe to assume that this could happen anywhere. That being said I probably won't be eating out for a least a month. I can do well with a bag of chips until then.

Who says this is limited to fast food? Who knows what might be happening with those chips . . .

I'm in Indiana but work downtown Chicago, so I'm feeling you on that ish.
Now I'm thinking about those Quizno's commercials with the oven telling the dude to put the sandwiches in him...no, I won't even fathom that.

Well, I was trying to just say how I don't really eat out that often. I wasn't trying to single out anyone. It was more like a playful poke at how I generally don't eat at restaurants. I wasn't trying to blame anyone with my comment.

You guys are right, it doesn't just happen at Domino's. My math teacher in my senior high school year once had a Blizzard from Dairy Queen. The kid who happened to be taking his order was somebody that he had failed in his class the previous year. Needless to say, my teacher had an upset stomach after eating that Blizzard. The kid making his Blizzard had put some type of medication as a payback for getting an F in his class.
And this happened at the Perkins where I live...a girl in my science class proudly admitted that she and other co-workers spit into people's drinks if the person getting those drinks were somebody they didn't like. Pratically now adays the only places that you're likely to get good to excellent service are expensive places like Olive Garden or Red Lobster.
Ya, I don't eat out much anymore. And when I do, it's usually Wendy's or something....and once every month I'll get an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, but lately I've been looking up recipes off the Internet for Chinese and Italian.:anime:
But, there are two places that I will never, EVER cease to eat at: Cracker Barrel and Famous Dave's. As of right now, I'm jealous for other states that have these. We need some in Wyoming NOW!

OMG.
Sorry for speaking in a "chat-room" style, but that really sounds gross. I'm never eating there again, but then again, I've never eaten there anyway. So in that case, I'm never planning on going there, ever, until all the employees have been mind-controlled to always be clean, sanitary, and willing to give me more change than required.

Its domino's pizza that did this, not pizza hut.
And also, I think that fast food chains should require a camera in the area where food is prepared..this is just disgusting, and the sad thing is, it happens in many resturants on many occasion.
I know this was dominos but i'm really hesitate to eat at any fast food place.

Which is why security cameras covering every inch of the facility and criminal prosecution go together like PB&J.
And that's why security cameras in places like this should be the norm and not the exception.

50% of foodborne illness occurs on the sales floor, while 10% (or maybe less, I believe) occurs from factory and household each.

I find it silly that so many people in this thread are saying they're never going to eat Domino's pizza again just because of two employees. This could happen at any restaurant. These two people aren't representative of Domino's employees.
You know, I remember seeing a special on Fox maybe...oh, probably ten years ago now, where they showed all these hidden camera videos of employees doing things they weren't supposed to. One video showed an employee at an Italian restaurant getting pasta sauce in his hair and then wringing it back in to the pot. Another video showed a bartender stirring a drink with his penis.

This is making it hard for young people to even get a pizza making job. Think about it, they won't be looking for the wrong things in applications, they'll just look at the age and last grade completed. Some poor kids can't even get a fast food job. :sad:

Dominos is the best pizza place IMO and the only reason I had Pizza Hut a couple nights ago is because the Panomous is just $10

Well, I think they blurred out his penis, but yeah. I tried to do a search for the clip but I had no luck. This was a long time ago so I doubt you would be able to find it. I did find out that there's apparently a show on Fox Reality Channel that shows all sorts of this stuff: http://www.foxreality.com/episode.php?catid=227
Apparently, one segment features a woman stirring a drink with her tampon.
Edit: Gee, Fox Reality apparently has three different shows that show people doing disgusting things on hidden camera: http://www.foxreality.com/show.php?storyid=92816 Busted and Disgusted, Busted on the Job, and Busted Everywhere. Gee, now I kind of wish I got Fox Reality Channel.
Edit: All right, I'm 90% sure that the clip of the guy stirring the coffee with his penis is from Busted on the Job. They used to air those specials on the regular Fox station back in the day. The show basically consists of employees on hidden camera spitting and pissing in customers' food.
Edit: After watching some of the clips from Busted on the Job, these Domino's employees seem relatively tame by comparison.

Saying that dominos is "the best" is completly personal belief.
But it is a fact that they do use the lowest quality products in their foods, and that they have a very horrible safety/health code, go on youtube, you can see for yourself (not just this incident, there are others).
and the panormous is amazing
